Answer:

29 and -18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= -3x+12

f(-9)= -3(-9)+2

f(-9)= 27+2

f(-9)= 29

g(x)= x2

g(-9)= -9(2)

g(-9)= -18

You need 2b cups of flour for making b loaves of bread. You have 8 cups of flour . Do you have enough for 5 loafs of bread?Expla

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

No. I don't have enough Flour to make 5 loaves of bread.

From the Amount of flour i had i can make 4 loaves only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Flour required for making loaves of bread = $2b$ cups

Amount of flour i had = 8 cups

Number of loaves of bread = $b$

We need to find the we have enough flour to make 5 loafs of bread.

Solution:

We know that;

Amount of flour I had is equal to Flour required for making loaves of bread

framing in equation form we get;

$2b=8$

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

$\frac{2b}{2} =\frac{8}{2}$

$b=4$

Hence From the Amount of flour i had i can make 4 loaves only.

Hence I don't have enough Flour to make 5 loaves of bread.

12 grapes cost 90 $how many can bought in 40$

likoan [24]

Let x = the amount of grapes that can be bought for 0.40.

Note: By 90 I assume you mean 90 cents. The same for 40.

12/x = 0.90/0.40

0.90x = 12(0.40)

0.90x = 4.80

x = 4.80 ÷ 0.90

x = 5.33333

We can round the decimal to the ones place to get 5 grapes.

Can I get some help, it is due in 15 minutes and I need help. Thanks, any help appreciated

koban [17]

Well, I'm way past the 15 min mark, but here's how to do the question.

With this, you will need to use the distance formula, $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ , on XY, YZ, and ZX.

XY: $\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(1-6)^2}$

Firstly, solve inside the parentheses: $\sqrt{(2)^2+(-5)^2}$

Next, solve the exponents: $\sqrt{4+25}$

Next, solve the addition, and XY's distance will be √29

(The process is the same with the other 2 sides, so I'll go through them real quickly)

YZ:

$\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(3-1)^2}\\ \sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}\\ \sqrt{9+4}\\ \sqrt{13}$

ZX:

$\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(6-3)^2}\\ \sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\ \sqrt{25+9}\\ \sqrt{34}$

Now that we got the 3 sides, we can add them up: $\sqrt{29}+\sqrt{13} +\sqrt{34} =14.8$

In short, your answer is 14.8, or the second option.
